"Lesbian films do not get as much attention as gay films
due to their short format. Lesbian film producer Barbara Hammer's latest
and best work, 'Nitrate Kisses,' is long enough to qualify for a feature and
so gets attention and a positive review." [Expanded Academic Index]

"Portrayals of female impersonators fit Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic concept of the real. Lacan holds that the real is constructed by the imagination, and that symbolic language is an effect of the real. In contrast, theorists of gender performance see the real as a product of symbolic language. Gender theorists tend to reject Lacan's theory as apolitical, but it can be given a political context. For example, it explains the documentary movie about a black drag queen, 'Paris Is Burning.'" [Expanded academic Index]

"The success of the independently produced documentary 'Paris is Burning' is significant because of the subject it covers: gays and lesbians in voguing balls. An analogy is established between academic conservatives and their stand against political correctness and the characters and issues taken up by the film. Cultural and political progressives in the academe are encouraged to expose the agenda of academic conservatism in a manner similar to the exposure of social oppression by the characters in 'Paris is Burning.'"

"Naturalism is the dominant theme in four socially oriented Afro-American films. 'Straight Out of Brooklyn,' 'Boyz N the Hood,' 'Jungle Fever' and 'Paris is Burning' portray black experience in America with such unerring detail that viewers are given a lifelike view of Afro-American culture. The all-too-common features of ghetto life such as street gangs, drugs and violence also serve as a backdrop for human frailties and passions." [Expanded Academic Index]

"Author's Abstract: COPYRIGHT 1993 Haworth Press, Inc.
This essay is a consideration of the position of 'region' in queer theory, particularly black queer theory. Although only minimal analysis has been directed at black gay cultural production, most attention given to black gay cultural production has focussed predominantly on urban areas/communities re-presented in films such as Tongues Untied and Paris Is Burning. This paper employs Randall Kenan's novel A Visitation of Spirits, which focusses on a black gay youth growing up in the rural African-American community of Tims Creek, North Carolina, to consider what cultural work is done when queer desire turns up in such an apparently unlikely and inhospitable place. Examining how region plays a role in the construction of centers and margins, this article argues against always shuffling queer desire 'safely' off to the big city, and considers what transformative cultural work can be done on the 'margins' of the queer world."

"Abstract: Recognizing the importance of taking a multicultural approach in one's teaching, this article explores using the movie Paris is Burning in one's classes to illuminate the performative, relational, and situational basis of social statuses. Students' responses to viewing and discussing the movie are examined in terms how each of them performs inequality - race, class, gender and sexual orientation. The author ends the piece with some personal considerations about envisioning and realizing a non-oppressive future." [Gender Watch]
